It can be quite enjoyable to begin furnishing your home with all new furniture. I had been given all sorts of odds and ends type furniture from my parents right after I graduated from college, but now that I was a little more financially secure, I wanted to buy exactly what I desired. My first purchase was a floral chintz sofa that faced the fireplace and set the tone for the whole living room. The window drapes were made from the same fabric, and the room really started to really take on a warm friendly atmosphere. I reupholstered two French armchairs in fuchsia which blended well with the floral motif.
